On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, Bayern Munich announced the signing of Colombian forward Luis Diaz from Premier League champions Liverpool for a transfer fee potentially reaching €75 million ($86.5 million), as reported by Sky Germany. The 28-year-old, who won the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup during his three-year stint at Anfield, signed a contract with the Bundesliga giants until 2029. Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised Diaz as “one of the best left wingers in the Premier League,” highlighting his proven track record of winning silverware. Diaz expressed excitement, stating, “It means a lot to be part of FC Bayern… I want to help my new team with my way of playing football and my character.”
Diaz, who scored 17 goals in 50 appearances last season under Liverpool’s Arne Slot, missed a friendly against AC Milan on July 26 amid transfer speculation. His move fills the gap left by Bayern’s Germany forward Jamal Musiala, sidelined for a “long period” due to a broken leg and dislocated ankle sustained at the Club World Cup, per Bild. X posts from @FCBayern and @TransferNewsLive on July 30 celebrated the signing, with fans noting Diaz’s pace and versatility as key for Bayern’s title ambitions under new manager Vincent Kompany, who faces pressure after a trophyless 2024/25 season.
